Afghan Hound, also known as Kabul dog, is most notable for its flowing coat, which looks very beautiful. Although the Afghan Hound’s intelligence is not very high, ranking only 79th in the dog intelligence list, this does not affect its popularity at all. Today, the editor from Boqi Net will talk about the places to pay attention to when feeding Afghan Hounds. Let’s take a look below.

1. Afghan Hound puppies have relatively weak digestive systems, so they cannot accept too much food at one time. Therefore, multiple feedings with small amounts each time are needed, 4 to 5 times a day; when they become adults, this can gradually be reduced to two times a day. Seasonal changes also affect the dog’s diet. In hot summers, feeding can be done in the cool early mornings and evenings.

2. When feeding Afghan Hounds, it is important to ensure the feed’s nutrition is comprehensive. Because Afghan Hounds have difficulty digesting plant-based foods, owners rarely feed them fruits and vegetables during usual feeding, but this may cause vitamin deficiencies. Owners should supplement these trace elements from other sources.

3. During feeding, it is essential to cultivate good habits of regular timing and quantity. This benefits the Afghan Hound’s growth and development. Without regularity, digestion may be disturbed, leading to unnecessary intestinal diseases and delayed growth and development.

4. If possible, owners can purchase imported professional dog food for Afghan Hounds, as the dog food contains rich vitamins and minerals to meet the nutritional needs at each age stage. Homemade dog food may cause digestive discomfort, so owners should be particularly cautious.

1. Afghan Hounds require a relatively large amount of daily exercise and are suitable for owners who have sufficient energy. During leisure time, owners can take the dogs for walks outdoors, such as to parks or gardens. Of course, these are just simple exercises. Owners also need to conduct some physical training to promote the dog’s physical development. Running, jumping, and other activities help promote bone growth and strength, improve physical fitness, and keep Afghan Hounds healthy and free from disease.

2. Afghan Hounds are tall-bodied and require a large amount of food daily. Proper feeding to provide sufficient energy and nutrition is necessary. The daily dog food should include 500-600 grams of meat (pork, chicken, etc.), mixed with some vegetables and dog food. The meat is usually boiled, chopped, and mixed with dog food to enhance palatability. Feeding should be at fixed times, and the amount should be eaten in about 15-20 minutes.

3. During the feeding process, owners must closely monitor the dog’s health condition, observing appetite, stool, spirit, body temperature, etc. If the dog shows discomfort or abnormalities, timely treatment should be taken to prevent serious diseases in Afghan Hounds.

The above are the places to pay attention to when feeding Afghan Hounds. We hope this can help everyone.
